About the Acura TSX
Vehicle Summary
With production dating back to 2004, the Acura TSX made a name for itself as a sleek and well-appointed sedan—right up until it was replaced by the slightly larger TLX model for 2015. The TSX is a compact luxury sedan with seating for up to five people, plus a spacious 14-cubic-foot trunk. Under the hood, the TSX features a standard 2.4L four-cylinder engine, although a brawnier 3.5L V6 at 280 hp is optional.
If you're shopping for a comfortable executive sedan that's compact enough for easy handling and maneuverability, the Acura TSX is worth a look. In its 2014 model year, the TSX is even equipped with such standard features as leather upholstery, a sunroof, and heated front seats for added comfort.

Reviews for Acura TSX
I call my car The Gypsy Pearl as it really is a beautiful pearl
It's a great car. It's easy to drive, has all the electronics anyone would want, is well built and a very good warranty. It is fully adjustable, has seat warmers, good GPS screen, excellent braking system and all the nice little extras like telling you when a tire is too low or you have a message from the company. I would buy another Acura with no hesitation!
Pros
- Power: It has a great engine with plenty of power, wonderful electronics and the styling is beautiful.
Anyone for a "normal" station wagon?
This is a process of elimination. If someone is looking for a vehicle with the interior capacity of a wagon or SUV but doesn't need 4wd or the butch styling of a SUV or cross-over, choices are sparse. The are virtually no "regular" Euro wagons under $40K being made today (2015) with the exception of the VW Golf Sportwagen. Even used BMW, Audi, Mercedes, etc., wagons are north of $30K and extremely rare. So, if one wants a reliable regular wagon under $30k, with decent gas mileage, either new or slightly used, the clear choice seems to be the TSX Sportwagon...assuming one can be found. The choices available in other parts of the world are vastly better (Mazda 6 diesel wagon come to mind) but alas, we are in a country in love with SUVs.
Pros
- Ride and Handling: It is a Hond Accord made for the European market
- Interior Space: It has lots of cargo space; on par with many SUVs without the ill handling and lousy gas mileage
- Reliability: It is a Honda and more likely to be reliable than its Euro counterparts (and yes, I own a VAG product)
Cons
- Fuel Economy: It has an aniquated 5-speed auto; it could get much better mileage with a 6 or 7 speed; or a diesel!
Great style in a sport wagon
A bit more room and versatility than the TSX sedan. Great features and style. Good audio system even base model. Slower than the TSX sedan, this is well documented in other reviews and from every magazine article I found, but I bought it anyway because I have always wanted one and like wagons. Could really use the V6 or 6 speed manual transmission to make it a true "sports wagon" Be advised that the later model wagons did not come with spare tires, only a bottle of sealant and an air pump, this was the first thing I added. There is room under the trunk carpet for a full size spare and tools, but acura removed them for weight savings. An online search and a trip to a junkyard or some classifieds shopping can solve this issue. 26-27 mpg
Pros
- Seat Comfort: great seats and the seat heaters are amazing
- Cargo Space: 60/40 folding seats are great for costco and home depot runs. fits our large canopy shade for our daughters soccer games as well.
- Reliability: Hondas K24 motor is as reliable as they come, only pricey maintenance is every 110k miles
Cons
- Power: same power as TSX sedan with more weight means its noticeably slower than 4 door version
- Styling:
